Changes & Challenges
A lot has happened since I last posted here. The worst thing was I guess I was going through some kind of depression. I didn’t want to socialise with anyone. All I really did was get up & go to work (most of the time I didn’t even want to do that), then sit like a couch potato watching TV when I got home.
Things improved though. First, in November 2007, I joined a new kind of gym called Gymophobics. Gymophobics was designed to suit women like me who don’t like exercise or popular types of gyms full of Lycra clad skinny women. Believe it or not I go to Gymophobics 3 to 4 times a week and I love it!
The second big change I made in my life was in January 2008, when I quit smoking! I’ve not had a cigarette since January 7th 
My latest challenge, and perhaps it’s going to be the biggest change of all, is to lose weight.
On May 14th I started on a weight loss programme called LighterLife and by yesterday, just 11 days later, when I was weighed by my counsellor, I had lost a whopping 1st 1lb (7kg)!! I’ve still a long way to go, but I’m determined to succeed.
